AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MARCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTES A long standing cry from within the ranks of the shooting sports has been that shooters receive insufficient publicity. Well, the Queenslanders are really playing their part in reversing that trend. Prior to Christmas, the Brisbane Gun Club committee successfully negotiated with a television station to have advertisements put to air Friday nights and Saturday mornings. In these commercials,clay target shooting is shown as a challenging recreation, then details of cur'rent club programs are put to air. The project has been sponsored on a monthy basis by a number of commercial organizations. Its progress and results are being closely monitored by the Club committee. In another successful venture. the Queensland Clay Target Association arranged for clay busting to be listed amonst the sports used for a large public display on the Gold Coast during Australia Day celebrations. The success of this project can be measured by the fact that club teams competed before a crowd that grew at times to an estimated 7500. WOW! What a result! Meanwhile. many of the Q.C.T.A. coaching personnel have reached a standard of training where they feel confident to undertake public speaking commitments. AS an example. Stafford Smith (Zone Coach for the south Eastern area of Queensland) recently addressed a meeting of the Hervey Bay Rotary Club. where the level of interest and attention was tremendous. Then, in New South Wales, the Daily Mirror carried a leading article titled "MARKSMEN WHO AIM NOT TO KILL". ~t was a good piece of journalism directed at putting the ,positive side of clay target shooting. Mr Leni Crema, President of Marconi Gun Club was widely quoted in the article, and is to be commended for the way in which he "led the journo. The real point to come out of these examples is that every clay buster, in almost every social or business situation. has the opportunity to promote his or her sport. If only we could discipline ourselves to spend more time on this type of promotion. the less time on pulling the work of others apart. I'm sure that our numbers would swell dramatically. To completely change the scene. let's talk for a few moments about referees. This person holds one of the highest and most important positions in sport, be it clay target shooting. football or whatever; yet, we frequently see him (or her) being treated like a second rate citizen. Most (if not all) of the referees who assist in the conduct of shooting competitions are purely honorary and are giving their time and effort to make our sport better. They have every right to expect a fair go - that is really the only reward they want! The degree to which referees are becoming "browned-0fYis clearly emphasised by the fact that very few have applied to" P "stand" at the 1981 Australian Trap and Skeet Championships, to be held at Melbourne Gun Club in April. As a consequence, it appears likely that referees will be drawn from previous squads. to ensure that the tournament continues. A new inovation is to appear in CTSN. The Association's Management Committee has arranged to contribute a monthly column, to keep readers abreast of the types of decisions that are being made, the reasons why. and the anticipated consequences. The Committee, which consists of President Ron Porter. Vice President Laurie Connors. Roy Holtfreter and Paul Cains, meets regularly, and the new column should create a great deal of interest. Meanwhile. the Development Sub-committee has been revamped. and is now headed by Paul Cains of Burnie. Tasmania. Elsewhere in this issue. Paul has extended an invitation to all readers to contribute ideas to his committee. After all, it is in the best interests of all participants that new ideas be drawn from the widest possible range. Good shooting. NOEL J. SOUTHEY A TAIpAN LADIES SHIELD RESULTS The 1980 postal match for Ladies Trap Teams, sponsored by Elva a d Sid Churches of Adelaide, has been won by Jeparit Gun Club, Victoria.

January 26. the Albert Australia Day Foundation held a major carnival to celebrate the birth of our Nation. on a 70 acre block of land on the Nerang River a t Carrara. Forty-six clay target shooters representing six clubs attended this carnival to comaete in the Australia Dav Teams Championship which was ogganized by the Foundahon and the Gold Coast Gun Club. This gave clay target shooters a golden opportunity to PROMOTE THEIR SPORT to the general public. (7500 people were recorded entering the gate). Eley & Winchester assisted the Association by giving it pamphlets and books to give away to the public. During the course of the day, we were kept busy answering enquiries and explaining the sport. The following gun dubs fielded teams for this event: Brisbane (Mens & Ladies team). Ioswich: Toowoomba. Sunshine CO& Gold Coast (two teams); Terrahora Lakes. Brisbane Gun Club Ladies' Team on tracks at Gold Coast promotion. These clubs inust also be congratulated for their enthusiasm in promoting their clubs in the sport. Toowootnba team members all wore the same coloured T-shirts with a club badge printed on the front. They looked great. and quite a lot of remarks were made about them. Other clubs wore their ciub jackets with badges on the back. and all of this promoted the vast areas serviced by gun clubs. Following a 40 target elimination event in the morning. Toowoomba Gun Club consisting of R.Donovan: D. Wells: M. Hass: M. Manning: and V. Tipman qualified with the highest score for the Grand Shoot-Off: the other team qualifying was Ipswich which consisted of W. Stevens; P. Freeleagus; G. Stevens; P. Stein and K. Stevens. At 4pm the GRAND SHOOT OFF was commenced and all other functions on the grounds were halted while the match proceeded. Ipswich was the eventual winner. beating Toowoomba by the narrow marpin of 5 noints. Ivswich scored a total of Page 4 (from Bev Grice) Terranora Lakes Country Gun Club Men3 Team competing.

I am afraid we had a massive boo-boo recently which just goes to prove this old saying. It was decided last April a r'esponsible approach to the 1981 Duck Season would be to print a coloured brochure identifying the various types of duck most commonly found throughout Australia and to show those which are protected. This was especially relevant, we thought, because of the tragedy in S.A. when a large number of Freckled Duck were slaughtered, possibly innocently, by inexperienced shooters mistaking them for the most popular species in Australia, the Black Duck. A great deal of trouble went into the production of, firstly, a 4-page colour brochure; then, as the idea grew, a full coloured poster and a limited set of 12 coloured coasters, all on the same theme of improving the shooters' knowledge of identifying ducks and so, hopefully, protecting the duck population as a whole whilst, simultaneously, perpetuating the sport. But, despite the precautions of recruiting an artist who was also commissioned by the Victorian Fisheries and Wildlife Department, and some great co-operation and expert advice from officers of that Department, we still managed to goof. Some birds which are protected were not indicated. The posters were reprinted but the initial distribution of brochures did go out, some in Clay Target Shooting News, and so these should be altered by also marking the Coot, the Grass Whistle Duck, the Musk Duck and the Bluebilled Duck. At the same time, we realise these protected species vary from State to State, and season to season, and so shooters should always check with their particular Wildtife Department to ensure they are familiar with the current regulations for each season. The Coasters were received so well (the limited printing was completely sold within days of their release) it is our intention to continue the series with, for 1982, a set on hunting dogs and, in 1983, one on famous firearms. A method of reserving sets of these will be announced shortlv. Trap and Skeet Shooting. George, with Newton Thomas, must rank as the most knowledgeable shooter in this country, and he has prepared a fascinating book, not only on technique but on the entire spectrum of trap shooting in Australia, delving back into the history of the sport and uncovering many interesting documents and photographs. At $5.95 its'value for money is unsurpassed in this day and age; in fact, we think it is too cheap as the production is top class and many prospective buyers may think, at that price, all they may be getting for their money is a home-print job. Nonetheless, George wanted to keep the price down because, as he says, the sport is expensive enough as it is. As George has always been an enthusiastic user of ELEY, naturally we have supported him by subsidising production costs of the book itself and distributing it through our channels on his behalf. In fact, it is our intention to donate a book to every school library where there may be possible interest in trap and skeet shooting. 0 0 0 0 0 ELEY has a number of films available for clubs to hire at special nights.

George Biggs, one of the best-known figures in the Clay Target world, has just finished writing and publishing an instructional book on -- AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWCMARCH Page 5 By Pat Browne The Rottweil AAT i s certainly a startling gun to look at, But despite its futuristic looks, the pedigree remains very muoh intact. Some time ago when we looked at the Rottweil Model 72 trap and skeet guns we thought they were real good pieces of ordinance. In the intervening period we have not changed our mind but what brings the name Rottweil back to these pages is the introduction of another version of the Model 7 2 , the Model 72 ART. The gun has a funny pedigree that perhaps we should look at briefly. Designed by Conrad (Conny)Wirnhier for Dynamit Nobel of West Germany. the gun is made by Gamba of Italy for the American market. Wirnhier incidently is twice World Champion and an Olympic Gold Medal winner in Skeet. The gun comes to the Australian rnarlret through Dieter Schuster of Eurocut in Sydney. Americans love to hang labels on guns. This model Rottweil is no exception. To give it the full moniker it is a real tongue teaser...Rottweil 72 Adjustable American Trap Gun with XVH. Now before you run off into the distance screaming, let In the S.B. version the top barrel is a dummy with a built inisnap cap. Page 6 me explain the IVPX. It stands for Infinitely Variable Point of Impalrt and is in fact the most remarkable feature of the gun.But more of this later. Essentially, the gun is a basic 72 with all the features we have discussed before when we summed up the mechanical features thus. "the gun is s box lock and works on the 'bifurcated lump' principle. Anybody who follows gun tests in this magazine would know what this means. The locking wedges are concealed and the find lock-up is very firm." "Ejectors are selective, augmatic and are triggered by the cocking rods. These cocking rods or bars run through the action floor and the gun coclcs on opening" -and this has not altered. What has altered however is the barrels we hang on this action. The full set consists of a set of 81 cm (32") double barrels, a single barrel of the same length and a massive 86 o Woodwork and checkering are superb. The Rib takes a sharp step-up just in front of the hinge p~n. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MARCH , cm (34") single barrel. The double set has a free floating bottom barrel and the single barrel has the IVPI. What makes the gun stand out however is the treatment given to the single barrel. In simple terms, ail that happens is that the h p barrel is removed at the forend, plugged and the rib extended down to the bottom barrel. With the long barrel up it looks Like something out of 'Star Wars'. But there are some very important handling characteristics in this form of gun design. First. balance is not altered and second, the moment of inertia is kept low. This reduces muzzle whip to almost zero. higher than the point of aim. When pdled fully back the collar effected a point of impact 44 cm below point of aim. Now, the ability to be able to alter your point of impact upwards has a lot going for it insofar as the trap shooter is' concerned. Back mark handicap shooters find a high shooting gun a distinct advantage, a lot of them do not like so much height at the common mark. One can argue that the level of trapshooting expertise in this country would not warrant such a device. But as we become more sophisticated in our approach to the game it wiU become more important. More so now that there ia a trend to Right up front though is the interesting part and it is here that Infinitely Variable Point of Impact feature comes into play. The system is ingenious and relatively simple. On the bottom of the rib near the muzzle is a slight incline up. This matches, and is in fact dovetailed with the 10 cm long collar which surrounds the barrel. In the front face of the rib is a screw. When removed you find a small hex wrench on the end and this you will find engages with a grub screw in the top of the rib about 5cm back from the muzzle. Using this wrench, the grub screw can be loosened and the collar freed to slide backward or f o r w d . Qn the left side of the collar are some graduation marks, in fact six of them either side of the centre mark. By sliding the collar backwards & forwards the point of impact of the barrel can be altered at will. Each graduation represents a movement of about 8 cm at 35 metres. The most remarkable thing about this is the real movement YOU c a n get of your pattern. With the collar set at the centre mark the gun should shoot to point of aim. In patterning tests it did. Racked fully forward the gun shot a whopping 50cm shoot more of the American brand of the single barrel style of game. : We remain a bit puzzled as to the requirement of making a gun shoot lower. ~f there is an instance whereby any trapshooter had a reason to have his pattern print 40 odd centimetres below his point of aim. his approach to the game leaves a little to be desired. par be it for me to give Conny Wirnhier any advice On gun design. but it would be more logical to have the availability for more upward movement and a little less down. we have overlookedthe double barrd set in our enthusiasm for the single barrel mechanics. At the present t i e .this set would be t& workhorse for the Australian gunner. They are as well made as the single barrel but have no point of impact adjustment. In our tests they shot just a whisker high. about 10 om. At 81 cm long most would regard them as not suitable fo, Australian shooting conditions. T M ~ is just not so. Firing tests on trap and trench with many different users indicated that they did not know that it Cont'd on page 20 Top barrel cuts off and is covered by the forend.

GUN & RIFLE SPECIALISTS 269 LITTLE COLLINS ST., MELBOURNE PHONE: (03) 63 7841-2-3 JSTRACIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MARCH Page 17 by Ian Hale (Australia Champion, 197SlBO) XElW IT SIMPLE Over the years shooting instruction has become so involved that most shooters overlook the beautiful simplicity of the basic concepts. TfIE BASICS Let us start on the right foot together. as unless the basics are mastered. and strictly adhered to. you wlll have a frustrating time around the skeet field. To shoot I.S.U. Skeet I can't over emphasise that firm understanding of the basic in skeet be learnt. These can be mastered better on the American skeet ground where the targets (being slower) give the shooter more time to improve his or her skills. There has been many a championship where the wind is blowingor the rain has been pelting down or both. that by just sticking diligently to the basics has seen me through. So where do we start? let's have a look at the gun Perhaps the most misused piece of equipment. it shouldn't be the most important, and in I.S.U. the position of the hand6 on the gun is most important because the further the gun moves away from the shoulder more emphasis must be placed upon the control of the gun. Let's have a look at correct gun hold. With the gun held by the forend with the left hand. keep your eyes looking in front of you and with your right hand simply slap the pistol grip. at the same time taking a grip, you will notice that your hand is spread naturally around the pistol grip. the trigger finger is in a comfortable position and the remaining fingers are wrapped comfortably around the plat01 grip with the thumb a?ound the top pointing down. You will notice this is a comfortable grip. Try it a few times -this is your natural grip. You will also notice how flexible your wrist is. this also will enhance the speed at which your gun will travel towards your shoulder. The Left Hand Holding the gun by the pistol glrp in your right hand, eyes looking forward. hold out your left hand and simply let the gun fall into your left hand. You will notice that the gun falls with the forend in your hand and your hand is on the middle of the forend. fingers wrapped around the right side of the wood and the thumb of the left comfortably placed on the left hand side of the forend. Now that we are holding tine gun properly, practise both these steps as much as you can. in time you will pick up your gun and unconsciously hold it correctly. Whilst we are on the subject of practice the old saying is true. practice makes perfect. you cannot do enough of it. If you can handle your skeet gun every day for a few minutes. it would only help to enhance your game. Bring the gun up smoothly -in I.S.U. Skeet the movement from the gun down position to the Fun to head position is critioal, it must be fast but at the same time smooth. Practise holding the gun in the correct position. On the hip, arms relaxed, start off slowly at first, two or three minutes a day will do. Keep your head in a natural relaxed position and bring the gun to your head. NEVER take your head to the gun! Taking your gun to your head will ensure that cheek and eyes are naturally aligned with the barrels and the butt of the stock is in the softest part of your shoulder. If you tighten up and take your head to the gun you will lift your head and the gun will inevitibly never mount in the same spot thus causing a jerky uncontrolled shot. - Praotise bringing the gun up to your head. run it along a picture railing in your house somewhere, from left to right. right to left, two or three minutes every day will hold you in good stead, also it will train the exact muscles that you will need to help you control that gun swing and movement all day. STANCE The stance is very important in I.S.U. Skeet, it should be natural. comfortable and solid. Stand and just take a look at pdople standing around talking. you will notice that their feet are apart approximately the width of the shoulders. in a comfortable relaxed position. Their body is comfortably balanced. they are unconscious of standing naturally. The same should apply on the skeet field. This exact natural stance is what you require. A good rule of thumb is to keep this same natural position. but point your left foot approximately in the vicinity of where you are s i n g to hit your target. The right foot will be behind and to the right of the left foot but the width apart should still be the same distance as the shoulders. When you are happy and comfortable with your stanoe slightly bend BOTH knees as this will help to relax you and enhance your swing. ALWAYS ADDREb3 YOURSELF TO APPROXIMATELY WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO I-IIT YOUR TARGET. - TO ENHANCE YOUR STANCE Footwear that is comfortable. not worn out and with a slightly raised heel will keep you on the balls of your feet. The sole should be of the non slip type. Flat soled shoes do not help the shooting stance nor do high heeled boots or shoes. A nice pair of sox, not too thick, not too thin and preferably made out, of wool, these will help to make a long day of training or' competing much more comfortable. In next month's issue of "Clay Target Shooting News". Ian talks about Equipment and Clothing and sums up the advice given so far. 0. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--MARCH ' w I .. :. . .

TRADE TOPICS You know. it seems a strange fact of life that the greater the effort a person or an organization make to improve things. the greater the risk of disaster, Take for instance the Eley Ammunition effort in producing a leaflet designed to assist hunters to identify game birds. Extensive planning went into the project. and a top class artist was used to ensure that each illustration was authentic. The "finished" job was distributed as an insert in the February issue of "Clay Target Shooting News" and looked very colorful. However. disaster struck. because certain protected species were not marked. thus creating the possibility that shooters would shoot at protected species. believing that no restriction existed. Eley management has reacted quickly to rectify the problem, and a revised version of the insert is enclosed with this issue of CTSN. Please read it carefully if .you are one of the thousands of clay busters who will be duck hunting in southern Australia early in March. . In January issue of CTSN. the Trade Topics column carried a report on the SKB Arms Company. Well. the good news is that the SKB brand name is alive and well. Brian Shakes, who is Marketing Manager for Michaelis Bayley Trading (the Australian agents for SKB shotguns) has reported that the SKB branded range of firearms is now being manufactured by the NEW SKY3 ARMS COMPANY. under the control of executives of the original group. He concludes. "We wish your Association every success with the forthcoming Australian Championships 2nd you will be glad to know that the SKB Company have. once again. donated a Model 5700 UIO trap gun to be used as a high gun trophy. The recommended retail value of this shotgun is '$1.395." The Association's management is extremely grateful for the generous donation. which will be presented to the overall winner of the 1981 Australia-New Zealand Trap Championship. 0 AAT -.TOPS FOR TRAP (Cont'd from page 7 ) was a long barrelled gun they were using. The handling characteristics with all barrels was superb. At present the big long 86cm barrel is full choke. the 81cm single, improved modified (three quarter) and the 81cm double barrel is choked improved modifiedlfull. All these chokings were verified at the pattern plate using a mixture of Rottweil 'Club 32's' and 'Winchester AA 300's'. AS for the rest of the gun, it i s the same good quality'that we have discussed before. There is a distinct improvement in the checkering which we applaud. The triggers are detatchable and are of superb quality. We tested with conventional pulllpull and the very well made release/puU combinations. They are delight to use and go a long way towards making this particular gun one of the most versatile on the Australian market. To sum up, this is one of the best specialist guns we have looked at. The full combination set is not cheap but then most top products are not. We compared it in 1979 with the Browning. Perazzi and Beretta $04. We think it has an edge on them in this version and is now on a par with the Browning Supertrap 80. For anybody interested in specialist trap ordinance it is worth a very close look. 0 A ANSETT AIRLINES OFAUSTRALIA The gun that makes clay target busting easier for beginners and puts the gilt edge on the more experienced shooters.

Southey. Executive Director. A.C.T.A. GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT. One of the big news items to break on Australia Day was the announcement that the deadlock 011 provision of funds for the upgrade of Belmont shooting complex had been resolved. A running uattle has continued for two years between the Australian Shooting Association and govei*nmentauthorities. At the centre of the feud was the need to upgrade the Belmont complex. which is located a few kilometres south-east of Brisbane. The complex is to be used as the venue for the shooting section of the 1982 Commonwealth Games. and requires improvements estimated to cost $520.000. An additional factor involved in the dispute has been the lack of certainty that has surrounded the long term tenure of' the site. which is currently administered by the Queenslatld Rifle Association by agreement with the Federal Department of Administrative Services. It is believed that a ten year lease is to be offered to ensure continuity of tenure. The funding problem has been resolved by the Federal a i d Queensland Governments agreeing to accept equal shares of' the upgrade bill. Although no money has yet chang'ed hands sources close to both governments have advised that tlle decisions are firm. As a consequence. work will shortly commence on the upgrade project, which will be directed by a Brisbane based sub-committee of the Australian Shooting Association. The shotgun events connected to the 1982 Games will be held at Brisbane Gun Club. where about $120.000 of the grant will be spent. The improvements will include the provision of a second Olympic Trench field. and new equipment in the existing trench and I.S.U. skeet fields. Additionally. the club house will be improved. and a second building to be used as an administrative centre for the skeet events. will be erected. There is now a great urgency about the prgject. as the Games organizers have planned a "mini games" for October 1981 to be used as a "dress rehearsal". The Australian Shooting Association will stage the 1981 South Pacific Regional Chainpionships for all disciplines excluding Running Board. An Open International Championship will be programmed in con.~unctionand an invitation to compete will be extended to all Coinmoilwealth countries plus other countries in the Pacific Basin. Already. there are indications that pistol teams from U.S.A.. Korea and Sweden will attend. The "mini games" are only eight months away. so there is an immense challenge in front of the clubs that operate on the Belmont complex. Dear Sir.

Although dated it is very interesting reading for any shooter with a leaning towards the ISU disciplines. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MARCH THE FABULOUS A year ago. after the Australian Clay Target Association had adopted its new Articles of Association. a Finance Sub-committeewas formed to advise the Executive Conlmittee on financial matters. The members of this committee are nationally known leaders in the world of finance and business expertise. and they are also registered shooters. They understand the problems of clay target administration but are INDEPENDENT of the National Executive. As a result of their delibe~@tions, they recommended to the Management Committee that from January 1. 1982 there be a registration fee increase of $10. The basis for their recommendation was two-fold. The first. and most obvious, was on the grounds of an inflation rate of 10% per mnum. The last increase in fees occurred at the end of 1977 and the following chart will show how the fees should have increased just to maintain the 1978 figures. 1978 1979 1980 1981 FABARM AUTOMATIC INTRODUCING THE AUTOMATIC FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. WE WILL TALK MOUT IT AGAIN IN detachable chokes $20.00 $22.00 $24.20 $26.62 1982 $29.28 1983 $32.20 1984 $35.42 For the last three years. it can be seen that the fees have fallen behind that amount needed to maintain our resel'ves. and indeed the 1980 Financial Report. which cli~bsecz8etaries will soon have, shows that the Association has just about "broken even" despite the short fall in the fees. The budget plan for 1981 shows a similar situation. The reserves have been maintained only due to stringent "house-keeping". For example. salaries for d l personnel at the National Office will be exactly the same this year, $77.000 as in 1976.and the cost of publishing this magazine this year will be $4.000.whilst in 1976 it was $10,000.In addition, there has been no increase! in advertising rates for clubs since 1977. At present. the Australian Clay Target Association holds reserves of $100.000which is less than the assets of a number of clubs throughout Australia. These funds are earmarked for development projects. It is the intentions of the Executive Committee that the Association become self-supporting through its involvements. This would enable any future fee increases to be kept to a minimum with the objective of keeping our sport within the financial reach of as many as possible. In addition. a referendum of ail member clubs committed the Association to the development of a National Ground and administration centre. Such a pro.ject will require much more than the available funds. The proposed fee increase. together with stringent economies could help build out present inadequate reserves. One State Association has suggested that an independent financial assessment be made to determine that such an increase is justified. The Executive already has the services of financial experts who understand our sport. and their advice is being followed. At the A.G.M. to be held a t the Melbourne Ns.tionals. club delegates will be asked to vote on the proposed fee increak. This article has been prepared by the Management Comn~ittee because it is so concerned that our sport continue to develop. By forward planning. the Association can protect shoote~s' investment in our sport. It must not be allowed to stagnate.

We missed you at the Club and at the Grand this year. But we hear rumors that a group may come next year. and we hope that you are among them. If so, the welcome mat is out. Tommy and I have relatively little to report - at least out of the ordinary. I guess we are in a rut, but a fairly comfortable and lazy one. Both of us are in good health. if we ignore creaking joints. I made my usual hunting trip to Canada with my buddy. spending almost all of October in Saskatchewan (half way up. and near the Alberta border). Duck hunting was different than usual. It had rained for half of August and most of September. so almost no barley was harvested. It was still in swaths a cafeteria for ducks. However. the ducks decided to eat their meals at night. after shooting time in the evening and before shooting opened in the morning. That was partly caused by previous shooting by local people who couldn't harvest. As a result we had no shooting over decoys in the fields. But we did get some good pass shooting between some sloughs. That is more fun anyway. Altogether we got 104 ducks. 1 goose. 13 ruffed grouse (very badly down this year). and 16 sharptail grouse (lots of them. but we do not hunt them much). Perfect weather, and thoroughly enjoyable. Visited with a lot of friends up there. Fine people - almost as nice as Aussies and Kiwis!! Most are of German extraction. and some of them are the original settlers in that area of the, 1930's. Interesting. .While I was up there, Tommy visited friends and relatives upstate and in Iowa. The only hunting we did in Wisconsin this year was deer hunting. which opened November 20th. This year neither of us received a Hunters Choice permit, so we were limited to bucks only. The first day I saw and shot at five bucks by 1 pm. at ranges of from 30 to 100 yards. Never have seenmore than two in a whole season. We also saw 47 other deer that day. That was in a shotgun-only area, so I used my Rem. 870 skeet gun and rifled slugs. Killed the first and fifth ones. Flinched on one and missed two more. assisted by Tommy's misses on one of them. The one I brought home weighed about I25 pounds and had 3 points on each side. Not big. but a nice one and good eating. Gave the other one (about the same) to the people with whom we stay. Some of you met them here in 1974 -Bill and Norma Johnson. I shot a Canada goose on the way home from there at Horicon Marsh. This makes a lot of dope on hunting, but some of you are hunters and may be interested. I had a very bad year on trap except for two good scores at the Grand. 196 and 199 on Sunday and Monday. which won me the Senior Veteran (over 70)trophies. Broke 99 in the state skeet shoot for a Senior Veteran trophy also. Our winter season weekly events started at the CIub in December and run through April. That will keep me busy on Saturdays and Sundays. Our total targets thrown at the Club this year will be about 1.800.000. which is down 4.4% from 1079. All of the difference is accounted for by two registered shoots practically rained out. The State shoot had 891 shooters in the 16 yard event. down from 918. (We have had 1001 and 1111 in recent past years). The 457.025 state shoot targets represented a 6.6%drop from 1979. Our "depression" has hurt shooting some, but not too bad, especially locally. Milwaukee area industry has helped us better than that in most of the country. We recovered shot at the Club again. We do that every 6 or 7. years when it accumulates sufficiently. We got 256 tons this time, mostly sold at 31c per pound. That came in handy. These figures are given, as I know many of you are involved with club management etc. over there. Have any of your clubs recovered shot? Our winter is just getting a start. We had 4 or 5 inches of snow a couple of weeks ago, but it all melted again. What we get from now on will stay until March. But with snow plowing it doesn't inconvenience us very much. Of course, we have to - Page 24 plow it off several acres at the Club to clear 6 traps and 5 skeet fields. plus the parking lot, for our winter shooting. But that isn't too bad with a six-foot plow on our pickup truck. Once we did have to get in some heavy machinery to move it, as it was too deep. Winter is our best season at the Club from the standpoint of participation by our own members. We have from 50 to 150 shooters every Sunday morning for our little 50 and 25 target trap and skeet events. We will probably have 150-200 next Sunday for our annual Xmas Basket shoot. Prizes for that are baskets full of everything for a Xmas dinner for a family. Last week we had 125 trap and 49 skeet entries. I just received my October issue of the Australian Clay Target News. I noted several of your names in it for various achievements. Our people here, who met you at the Club. wish you the very best for the coming year. We are always glad to see you, and even to just hear from you. Sincerely. Vic and Tommy Reinders Waukesha Gun Club Wisconsin U.S.A. Clay target shooting in the Australasian area lost some strong supporters during the first part of 1981. Stan Marsden of S. Marsden & Co. died early in the year. Mr Marsden was the principal of the sportsgoods distributor which handled the distribution of Winchester products in the South Island of New Zealand. He has had a long association with the shooting sports. and was well known to many Australians because of his regular attendance at New Zealand National Championships. Don Marsden, son of the principal. has been well groomed in the company's operations. and will how hold the reins. Closer to home, one of the nlost active administrators on the Victorian clay target scene died on February 5. Ile was George Breman, of Melbourne Gun Club. George has been one of Australia's most experienced referees. in spite of the fact that he participated as a competitive clay target shooter only for a limited time. George Breman first became involved in the sport when. after marrying into the Henwood family. he used to be the sole voice talking about football at a time that everybody else was talking about clay busting. Accepting the old axiom that "if you can't beat 'em. join 'em!" George took up clay target shooting. However, it did. not take him long to realise that as a competitior, his future was severely limited. So, he turned to refereeing. and quickly became very lmowledgeable, especially in terms of procedures. In 1978. George was appointed as Shoot Marshall for the Australian Trap and Skeet Championships. which were held in Adelaide. Since that time, he has been appointed a Trap and Skeet Referee Examiner. and has spent much of his time in the training of young referees. President Ron Porter and his Executive Committee wish to express the deep sympathy felt by all clay busters throughout Australia for Mrs Evelyn Brenlan and her family and the Henwood clan in their tragic loss.

Robbie's score was a fine 27/30. " B Grade was Nannette McCallum's second victory for the day with 24/30."C"Grade saw Bruce Norton notch his first win for the Carnival with 22130. The Ladies shared the victory honours with Janet Browning taking the front markers trophy 14/30.

'%"Grade was Bruce Norton's second win for the weekenc: with 80190.Brett Smith continued his winning form with 78190 to win the front markers' trophy.

Bendigo Clay Target Club (Vic) There was great excitement at Bendigo Clay Target Club in Central Victoria early in January. when Dean. the son of the club Secretary Glenn Woodhatch, won the Club Double Barrel Championship. Dean is only 12 years old. and shot like a veteran to outlast a field which included many well known names. The question is now being asked whether Dean is the youngest competitior ever to win an open championship in Australian clay target shooting history. Wefpa Gun Club (Q'ld) The Weipa Gun Club is located in far northern Queensland. and is one of Australia's most remote. Page 28 However. its inaccessibility does nothing to dampen the enthusiasm. and regular visits to the club are made by o t h e ~ clay target enthusiasts. who normally travel by plane.

The club has entered 1981 with a credit balance of $2.200. which is $400 more than at the same time in the previous year.

AUSTRALIAN SHOOTING ASSOCIATION RESTRUCTURE ~ ~ - (Staff writer) The Council of the Australian Shooting Association met in Canberra during the Australia Day Weekend. and approved a time table of actions, which will lead (hopefully) to a reconstituted and restructured ASA being operational soon after July 1981. An outside consultant is being considered as as the best means of directing the procedures, and government support for such an appointment is being sought. Existing and potential aftiliates of the ASA will be kept fully informed of developments and will have the opportunity to be involved in the planning. stages. The final details will be confirmed at a formal conference to be held towards the end of June.Further information will be reported in CTSN as it becomes available. 0 Page 30 ~ustr-alian Trap & Skeet Championships MELBOURNE GUN CLUB April 18 to 24, 1981 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MARCH assic box-lock.side-by-side shot tiful example of accurate workmanship in the tradition o QAUGYCHAMBERS1.7170 - BENDIW, el-1-81 Gocd (51). 15T DB Hcp: G.

This is early notificationbut we wish to bring the change of shooting date to your attention so that you can arrange your business activities to allow you to attend. - CHAMPIONSHIP SHOOT CHANGE OF DATE The Cowra Gun C l u b , which has traditionally shot its two day championship shoot on the 1st week-end of September for 20 years will be shooting this program over the holiday week-end in October. This has been changed because of the change o f date for the State C a r n i v a l and is in the new program book.

I- - QUEENSLAIQ QUEENSLAND CLAY TARGET ASSOCIATION REPORT Early in December. S.E. Zone Coach Mr Stafford Slnith was invited to be the guest speaker at an evening organized by the Hervey Bay Rotary Club. Stafford chose to speak on the following subjects in the time allocated to him:- (a1 What clay target shooting is all about. (b) Gun safety. (cl Introduction of clay target shooting & g u n safety into the school program. Stafford utilized the "Sales Kit" which is now available fb~' club coaches to use when approaching' their local High Schools for participation in the Clay Target shooting and gun safety program. This 'kit' was passed around anlong the members attending as well as copies of the A.C.T.A. "Introduction to Clay Target Shooting" booklet. Following his address. Stafford reported he answered several questions which created great interest to the listelling members. This is a n example of the P.R. available to each shooter in Queensland to promote this great sport to the general public in each town and city. Congratulatioi>s Stafford - keep up the good work. Once again referring to the recent Art Union r u n by the Association. it is interesting to note that first and second prizes went to non shooters. let's hope this converts them. Club secretaries are advised that copies of the club administration manu& used during the 1980 seminars are still available. if your club did not receive one please advise the State Office.

This speaks volumes for the level of co-operation which the Association receives from the printer. Waterwheel Press. of Shepparton. In the course o f production. the editor travels to Shepparton twice each month. On the first visit to the printer in connection with the production of the issue. the Association car broke down 45 kilometres north of Melbourne. The editor wishes to record his sincere appreciation to two enthusiastic members in Robert and Brian Hunter ( m e m b e r s of Nepean Gun C l u b ) who not only towed the "dead" car back to M e l b o u r n e , but also provided a replacenlent vehicle. This action ensured the continued "on timne" performance of C.T.S.N.. and a genuine thankyou goes to the two boys and Hunter's Towing Service of Thornbury.

Brisbane during the first week of October. This match will be a feature of the "Mini Games" being staged by the Commonwealth Games Foundation. as a full dress rehearsal for the 1982 Commonwealth Games. The ACTA is taking full advantage of the opportunity to stage a large scale international competition, and invitations have been sent to over thirty nations to compete. INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION OVERSEAS At a recent meeting of the Association's Management Committee. the problems of funding overseas competition visits by Australian representatives was discussed in detail. Resulting from that discussion. it was agreed that under present circumstances, no funds from Association sources could be made available to assist teams to enter either the 1981 or the 1982 World Championships. Nevertheless. in recognition of the fact that private funding may be available for individual competitors. provision has been made for shooters who qualify on a performance rating of 94% or better. to make an application to the International Sub Committee for approval to compete. Management has kept its options open in connection with other international competition and has asked for further recommendations from the International Sub-committee. These decisions do not affect the Association's commitment to send a five-man team to the 1981 Grand American Tournament. and management is grateful for the assistance promised by the Federal Government in respect to this 0 project.
